Mars Hill Blades

I just saw another chain of wind blades go around the corner near where I work. I'm still listening on my scanner as they make their way across Bangor. I've heard that there are 42 that came in by boat to Searsport in route, two at a time by tractor trailer (125 feet long) to Mars Hill. Boy, those are huge! I can't wait to see that in operation when it's done. Does anyone have any more information or links that I can find out more?

I think you going to wish when it is all done that they never came. These things are humongous. They will ruin the scenery and the views of what Maine once was. They sound neat and everything like that. But I have seen them, up close in CA and they are not a pretty site.

Rick you are so right! Unfortunately, as I spend more of my day working just to pay for a gallon of gas so I can go back to work the following day it makes me realize that life is full of compromises. Wind generators may not be the answer but it's at least its a step in diminishing our use of pricely oil.

Speaking of unsightly, there is now a cell phone toward in the middle of Palermo. I now have great cell phone coverage that was non-existent a month ago but we did give up the view. After all, this was one of Gov. Baldacci's promises, too improve cell phone coverage for the state of Maine. Gov. Bacdacci, a man with a mandate.. Progress without impact, a fantasy that I have too.
